Month: September 2012

• Forward Motion

  I thought now would be a good time to slap an update down because I’m feeling particularly positive and upbeat.  I am still going strong with Atkins even though there is a thing of delicious cookies in the kitchen, moist and soft and full of delight. I have resisted them for three days and I […]

• Reaping Results

  Whew. Today was definitely profitable. A friend consented to help me rid myself of my storage unit, which cuts out another monthly expense. I am so grateful that I have people in my life willing to sacrifice 4+ hours to doing me a favor. Without him, I honestly don’t have a lot of confidence in […]

• Moving Forward

  I just read some of my older entries here and I have to admit to myself that I hate the tone of them. All the complaining! Well, say good bye to that negativity. Even when I have a bad day, it does little to no good to be complaining about it. I used to think […]

• I Will

  The rotten truth? I haven’t updated you in a few days because I am finding it so terribly hard to be positive. I didn’t want to confess to you that I’ve been falling short of the goal. A part of me just wants to vent my frustrations with what has happened but the other feels […]

• Brief Note

  Spoke to Hank early this morning. He said “You sounded positive just then. I haven’t heard that in a long time.” I guess I’m onto something here.

• Saying NO to Negativity

  [edited out for personal reasons] It’s unhealthy and I need to teach myself that if I care enough to complain, I should care enough to change. Maybe I can’t control whether or not someone decides to hire me but there are a million other decisions to be made every day. Lately, it really feels like […]

• Nearing the End

  Will someone please tell me why I ever thought that coming “home” would be a good idea? I’ve been nothing but miserable since the very moment I crossed the state line into Michigan. Today, in particular, has been one hell of a bad day. Last night, due to all of my stress and frustration, I basically blew […]

• The Domestic Life

  Do you know what is really hard? Having truly amazing friends who are incredibly talented, motivated and successful. I want to be happy for them because they deserve their happiness and success; they have worked so incredibly hard for what they have and no one should ever begrudge them these things. Why can’t I be […]
